COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Pure Milwaukee Genius Series 2: A true Wisconsin Lager - A freshly plowed acre of soft, rich soil. Without a single word it tells the story of a community, hard work, and a fierce dedication to the land. It recalls a time when neighbor looked after neighbor. And it reminds us that everything that we need we can get right from our good Wisconsin Earth. With this in mind, Lakefront set out to try something new, or old as it were - using all locally grown ingredients to create a distinctly Wisconsin beer. Ample amounts of Wisconsin grown 6-row malted barley give this unfiltered lager its hearty body and hazy straw color. Its malty sweetness is balanced with an elegant finish from Wisconsin grown Cascade hops. The result - a flavor that is signature to Wisconsin. So raise your bottle high, toast your neighbor, and taste the soul of Wisconsin.

Location: 22 oz bottle from State Line, 5/23/13, Palindromic Rating #3003

Aroma: The aroma has spice and pale malts, a bit of earthy hops, some grass, and a hint of honey
Appearance: It pours a reddish-orange color with a frothy beige head and mid-plus lace
Flavor: The taste is much like the nose, it is malty and spicy with honey, and a bit of sweetness to it
Palate: The body is mid-plus, it has lively carbonation, a bit of stickiness, and touch of heat
Overall Impression: This beer is interesting, and it works pretty well. I definitely found it to be decent enough, but score-wise, I couldn’t go too much higher than this.

Fatehunter (754) - Corbett, Oregon, USA - FEB 4, 2013
Two fingers of head on a hazy medium straw colored body. Looks great. It smells like caramel, grain and pine. Nice combination. The taste has a good pine bitterness to it, but the caramel sweetness balances it out. A nice profile. The texture is crisp with moderate carbonation and medium body. Nice job Wisconsin.
